With the Lumia 1020 we use a no-compromise xenon 
flash  with  very  high  light  output  and  extremely  short 
flash pulse duration. High flash output provides excel-
lent illumination to targets three metres away, and the 
short  pulse  of  the  xenon  flash  ensures  that  the  final 
captured image is extremely sharp while preserving the 
ambient lighting of the background.
real life sharpness measurement
Image sharpness is usually measured using a tripod (an 
accessory that the average person rarely carries) in good 
lighting conditions (also a luxury). We replicated real life 
situations, using a hand-shake simulator running at 4Hz 
frequency, with the Nokia Lumia 1020 challenging a mar-
ket leading 13MP device in multiple lighting conditions. 
The Lumia 1020 was tested using the more ‘shareable’ 
5MP images and the measurements were done from 
centre frame for both devices. The results are depict-
ed in Figure 8. The graph shows that Nokia Lumia 1020 
resolves very close to the theoretical maximum of the 
5MP image in good lighting conditions, but what is even 
more remarkable is that because of the combination of 
OIS and xenon flash we can provide practically the same 
huge resolution also in extremely dark conditions. And 
this was measured while introducing handshake to the 
device! Even without help from the xenon flash the res-
olution never drops below 50 percent of the theoretical 
maximum.
In low light conditions the competitor device was only 
able to provide around 10 percent of its theoretical 
maximum resolution, and even in really bright lighting 
conditions only 40 percent of its capability was used. So 
one might ask, why use 13 megapixels, if only 10 per-
cent of the theoretical resolution can be used?
We have explained how image quality, sharpness and 
good low light imaging capability are a result of multiple 
features and the whole imaging chain working seam-
lessly together. 
Image quality is not only about megapixels but also 
about carefully optimising the whole imaging system 
to let people capture moments that matter the most - 
wherever, whenever.
